While at AAM, she also co-authored a legal manual, The AAM Guide to Writing an Employee Handbook, to assist non-profits with human resource management.

Marmion Roosa was the Director of the Laurel Museum in Laurel, MD, where she oversaw all aspects of the highly regarded urban history museum. After moving west she served as the interim Executive Director of the Richmond Art Center in Richmond, CA.

She has also worked on special projects for the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. and The Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, CA.
